The funny thing is that Europe needs immigration! Desperately...With its population aging, low birth rates-- it needs new blood. It's turning into a nursing home. I hear there are mayors in some towns in Italy encouraging people to have more kids. An easier solution would be "let their people come". Which brings me to my next point...a book I thought you might be interested in called "Let Their People Come: Breaking the Gridlock on Global Labor Mobility" by Lant Pritchett.
